The first month at the academy feels strangely sedate. Granted you're all around the age of five so it's not surprising exactly, but all the same. The instructors are a patient lot working with you all, covering the material as thoroughly as they can. Of course you just read the textbooks from cover to cover on the first night but you have the advantage of having figured out a good half of it out in advance. They do cover the moulding of chakra for techniques and the hand seals, which is of actual use to you thankfully. No techniques themselves in the book, probably the old principle of not wanting ninja getting caught up in the flashiness of techniques instead of focusing on the fundamentals.
12 Basic Hand Seals learned, technique development available
Chakra Moulding principles learned, grants 20% bonus to chakra control training
The other kids in the class you're not really sure what to make of precisely. Probably they're all clan kids, they're quick with the material and they've all had training prior to the academy, at least going by their progress. They're still kids obviously, they joke and play, even if there are subtle social reasons that escape you why certain kids always play together, or avoid each other except for being strictly polite to each other. It's not like you know any of them, you haven't exchanged any words with them, nor they with you. You guess they aren't sure what to make of you? You guess you did kind of show up out of nowhere and none of them know who you are. Barring one kid who seems freaked out by you and flinches every time you go near they've not really reacted to you overmuch.
You've resumed an old habit of training your agility through walking on narrow ledges. Granted it's considerably more precarious up here but it certainly works, even if habitually jumping onto high beams and perching on objects might make you a bit birdish. Lightning is more of the same as you ever did, it's just a matter of trying to more effectively convert pure chakra to lightning nature. Control on the other hand you've been developing by adding moulding of chakra to your regimen of focusing chakra at each tenketsu then shifting across them.
